Write a cookbook - It seems like such a great idea, right? Well tell that to Ash and Kev when they were neck deep in running their first bakery, trying to open a second one, all the while testing batch after tedious batch of almost 100 recipes in Ash's tiny kitchen AND trying to figure out how to work a DSLR to take the perfect shots of those budding dream products!

No folks, it was no easy task, but here it stands in all its glory! An amazing cookbook that calls you to open it, begs you to keep flipping, inspires you with its approachable recipes and relatable stories, and educates you with the techniques the pros use to achieve perfection with gluten-free, vegan baking!

ABOUT US

VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE & TRADITIONAL

Bunner's Bakeshop was started by Ashley Wittig and Kevin MacAllister - two entrepreneurs who saw the need in Toronto for a bakery that caters to those with food sensitivities and allergies AND tastes just like traditional baked goods. No compromises.

After a summer of testing Ash's creations at a local farmer's market and watching their fan base grow by the week, they started looking for a bricks and mortar location. With a shoe-string budget, some first class haggling over rent and equipment, and a whole lot of moxy and elbow grease they opened their first retail location on Dec. 11 2010.

Once it got out that you could buy piping hot GF & V bread, cinnamon buns and muffins baked fresh daily, customers took it upon themselves to spread the word and Bunner's grew from a few friends to a big family.

Bunner's currently has two retail locations, a cook book published by Harper Collins in Canada and the USA, and employs a staff of more then 20 of the most awesome bakers and customer service reps you'll ever meet!

Gluten-Free is our mission, Vegan is our spirit.

WHY VEGAN?

This can be a loaded question for many, but for us the question makes perfect sense. Most people have been raised in a culture that never gave a second thought to animal products in their diet. They said ‘It’s been like that for generations now, so why all the fuss? Isn’t it hard to go vegan? I hear it’s nutritionally depriving?’

In reality, these notions couldn’t be further from the truth. Veganism is an expression of harmony with your body and with the world around you. A plant-based diet delivers to your body high quality nutrients that keep you fit, light and performing at your best. Not only is a plant-based diet easier on digestion (and therefore less energy consuming), but it also eliminates the intake of toxins (antibiotics, hormones, dangerous bacteria) associated with today’s modern animal farming practices.

There’s also the environmental impact to consider. Animal production is well known to be one of the world’s leading environmental culprits. By comparison, plant based food production is but a drop in the bucket with regard to environmental impact and resource consumption.

Lastly, we love animals so much that we couldn’t imagine harming them, especially when there is such an abundance of beautiful food that is available otherwise. Mass production of animals for food has been chasing ever-increasing profit margins for so long that they have abandoned any semblance of care or welfare for the animals they produce. The days of the classic farmer, red barn and green pasture have long since been replaced by crushing corporate interests.

When you make the decision to buy and eat vegan you take a stand FOR so many positive things. If you have any questions feel free to write us and we’ll do our best to answer. info@bunners.ca

WHY GLUTEN FREE?

When we first started our business it was pretty small scale - and by that we mean really small scale. Baking was done with a regular kitchen oven and we reached our first customers under a small tent at a local farmer’s market in Toronto. We would show up at the crack of dawn after baking through the wee hours and set up our little table.

People loved the products from the first day we went public, however we always noticed that the few gluten-free products we sold were of particular interest to a certain crowd.

Celiacs and those with gluten sensitivities would spot our humble sign and rush over excitedly to ask what products were gluten-free. They were truly delighted and often times grateful to stumble across our little stand and develop a relationship with our growing business.

The phone started ringing more frequently with requests and advance orders and we realized how underserviced this demographic had been in Toronto.

Many of our new customers had been forced to compromise with below par gluten-free alternatives and would gush over our moist, scrumptious cupcakes, our decadent cookies and our light fluffy muffins. It was at this point that the path forward became all too clear. With a little tenacity and persistence, we felt it was possible to make most if not any product gluten-free AND delicious - so delicious in fact that those who had never tasted a gluten-free treat would have no idea what they were missing.

Our bakery is for everyone and our goal is to satisfy our amazing customers with treats they can be proud to share with family and friends.

Delivery is a flat rate of $12.00 anywhere in the GTA. We do not offer a guarantee on any product delivered though the courier, and while their drivers are both professional and cautious, delays and/or damage may occur while en route.

DOES BUNNER’S CATER?

Yes. Bunner’s offers catering for events both large and small. We specialize in cupcakes for large groups, variety packs for meetings, mini products for finger food and managing small food service counters at trade shows and events.

WILL BUNNER’S MAKE A SPECIAL RECIPE IF I BRING IT IN?

No. We only make the products that we’ve spent the necessary time and care to develop, ensuring the highest standards are met at all times.

DOES BUNNER’S MAKE ANY SUGAR-FREE PRODUCTS?

Yes! Our amazing savoury products (such as our Veggie Pot Pie, Vegan Mac & Cheese, Chickpea Curry, Chilli Cheese and Pizza Pockets) are sugar free. When it comes to our sweet range of products, no. While all of our products are made with high quality organic agave nectar, organic evaporated cane juice or a combination of both, we do not make any products that contain no sugar. We will not substitute stevia for sugar.

DOES BUNNER’S MAKE EVERY PRODUCT ON THE MENU EVERY DAY?

No. We do our best to keep the shelves well stocked at Bunner’s, but we do not make every product seen on the menu every day. This can be due to a number of reasons, but some of the main reasons are: the ingredients are not in season, the product is specific to a special occasion, and some products are only made on certain days of the week.

WHEN ORDERING A CAKE, HOW MUCH NOTICE DO I NEED TO GIVE?

48 hours notice is all that is required for our standard celebration cakes. If you are ordering a non-standard cake (multi-tiered, special design elements) we would appreciate 72 hours notice.

CAN I RESERVE PRODUCTS BY PHONE?

Yes, however we ask that you have a credit card available for payment. We do not reserve product without payment.

ARE BUNNER’S PRODUCTS NUT-FREE?

Yes and no. We do not use nuts in any of our products and we do not bring nuts into the bakery. However, some of our raw materials and flours are manufactured in facilities that process nuts. Trace elements may be present.

WILL YOU MODIFY YOUR PRODUCTS FOR MY SPECIAL NEEDS?

No. Bunner’s popularity is based on its consistency and quality. Modifying our products by request would not be a fair representation of the time and care that has gone into each and every item we offer.
